Healthy Pandan Chiffon Cake 健康香兰戚风蛋糕 （中英加图对照食谱）

My 93 year-old granny was unwell recently and hospitalized for the past 2 weeks. Those who know me personally, will know that I am very close to her as she has looked after me since I was a baby and I chose to stay with her even when I grew up. She is like a good friend to me and I can talk to her about anything. We have a very close relationship as I stayed with her until I got married. 

It saddened me to see her so miserable as she doesn't like to stay in the hospital. She has kept her lips tightly closed and refused the oral medications and hospital food and had to be put on a drip. The doctor thought that she has difficulty in eating and swallowing and wanted to insert a feeding tube in her which we were against. 

To proof the doctor wrong that my granny can actually eat, I've baked this pandan chiffon cake using extra virgin coconut oil (see below for the health benefits) and at the same time, I experimented with some bread flour. The result was amazingly good and I was surprised that the texture is so fine, smooth and cottony! 

I brought this cake to the hospital and my granny finally opened her mouth to eat as I fed her. The doctor and nurses were really amazed as they saw her chewing the cake happily away! I have shared this cake with the doctors, nurses and patients and all gave big thumbs up and commented that the cake is so delicious!

Thank God that my granny is finally discharged from the hospital and I've baked this family's favourite Gula Melaka Yoga cotton cake, also using extra virgin coconut oil, to welcome her home and cheer her up. Am really happy to see her eating well again. :)

Homemade Tau Suan (Mung Bean Dessert) - caramelised method 自制豆爽-焦糖法（中英食谱）

Tau Suan (mung bean dessert) has always been my favourite hot dessert since young. My childhood and teenage years were spent in Orchard road area where I used to stay. I recalled following my maternal grandmother to the Cuppage food market where she would do her marketing and there after we would head to the food centre above for our breakfast. Knowing that I love to eat Tau Suan, my dear granny never fails to get me a bowl and even buy extra you tiao (dough fritters) for me to eat with. Occasionally, we would travel further to Tiong Bahru to do marketing and there was this particular dessert stall which serves really good Tau Suan as the mung beans used were bigger than usual and the taste was simply fantastic! However, these stalls have long gone but the memory stays in me.....  

豆爽是一种传统热甜品，自小就很爱吃。还记得小时候，住在乌节路一带，年幼的我时常跟着外婆到卡佩芝巴杀去买菜，之后都会到二楼的熟食中心吃早餐。外婆知道我喜欢吃豆爽，时常会买给我吃，还加多油条呢！ 我也记得偶尔她会带我到中巴鲁巴杀去，那儿的豆爽我最爱了，因为摊主用的绿豆绊超大粒的，吃起来口感很棒！随着时间的流逝，这些我曾经喜爱的豆爽摊都已不存在了，剩下的只有回忆。。。
